• I used a convincing Instagram advertising campaign for Deepfakes for Goldman Sachs Abby Joseph Cohen and David KostinIn addition to Michael Hewson (previously in CMC Markets), to lure amateurs who want to get quickly rich in WhatsApp for purchase. luck He confirmed that the videos were fake and Mita says she removed the campaign from her platform.

Abe Joseph Cohen is a legend in the investment world. She was the head of investment strategies until 2008 in Goldman Sachs, when she moved to the Bank’s International Markets Institute, before his retirement from Goldman in 2021. Currently, a professor at Colombia College of Business.

Retail investors may remember it as a frequent guest Wall Street WeekThe 32 -year PBS TV program until 2002, on which the great and goods sat from the finance world with the late Luis Rokir and discussed the financial events of the seven days in the previous tones and scale.

So it may have been sudden for many to see Joseph Cohen floating on the surface Instagram It is fed with a difficult offer to reject:

The video says: “We have found three technical shares of less than their value. Join my group now to get it immediately. Anyone who owns these three shares in the next five years can be comfortable.”

This is definitely no Something that Joseph Cohen is likely to do.

The video is fake, luck It seems, apparently created by artificial intelligence. He is very good. Even the people who met Joseph Cohen personally would have believed that he was real, at least at first glance.

“This is a fraudulent message, not a representative of Goldman Sachs,” the bank said. luck. A spokesman said: “There must always be careful about any unacceptable connection claiming to be an employee in Goldman Sachs. Customers can learn more by visiting www.gs.com/security and they must report any suspected fraud by sending an email via email about use@gs.com.”

In fact, there is a full set of fake video investment employees from artificial intelligence who are currently on social media. David Coston, the chief American stock strategy in Goldman, who was in the bank for 30 years, has one. Michael Hyousson, the chief analyst at CMC Markets Michael Hyousson (16 years old in the company) has another.

“I have prepared WhatsApp Investment group. Every day I share it with three shares,” says fake Costin.

Hewson has a similar stadium.

Video clips not only look like the three Execs, but also look like them. One of the few gifts is that their lips do not match the words they say completely – a common defect with the torment of artificial intelligence.

CMC and Meta, the owner of Instagram, confirmed that the videos were fake. The latter said luck The advertising campaign will be dropped. “We have removed the content that caught our attention. People who impersonate the personality of others on Facebook and Instagram are violating our policies, and we remove this content when it is found,” said a spokesman.

The company that launches the campaign was not entrenched. this luck The employee joined the Fake’s WhatsApp collection, just to find out what was happening. Send the official of this message:

Hi, investors!

She rejected the “Eid” offer and sent a message directly to “Danielle Delivery”, WhatsApp with the St. Louis Jundni’s code. I asked her why she was using fake videos to employ investors on Instagram. She replied, “Hi, Abe Cohen and our agents in a partnership. Abe Cohen participates in the joint publishing of some of the high -quality stock trading strategies developed by Mr. Austin from our agency.”

Again, Joseph Cohen has nothing to do with this.

I learned and then recommended buying SOFI technologies at $ 11.50 per share Nasdak. “Please inform when you complete the request and I will tell you the date of the sale.” (We were not.)

Spokesman TRUE Tell Horizon Investments luck They also had no idea about their company and the names of the employees who were used in the fraud. A representative said: “None of ever participates in something like this, and none of the people will lend their names or pictures, or in support of something like this.”

The “Fitch” character did not respond to WhatsApp on a message asking for comment.
